IMPROYEMENT IN WATER-BOILERS FOR STOVES AND RANGES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 199,119, dated January8,1878; application filed September 18, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD STUMIM, of the city and county ofPhiladelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in WVater-Boilers for Stoves and Ranges, which improvementis fully set forth in the following specification and accompanyingdrawings, in which- Figure 1' is a side elevation of the boilerembodying my invention. Figs. 2 and 3 are central vertical sectionsthereof in diametrioally-opposite directions. Figs. 4 and 5 are,respectively, top and bottom views.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the severalfigures.

My invention consists of a water-boiler constructed and operating, ashereinafter fully set forth, to convey the products of combustion from astove or range to the chimney, whereby the water will be heated, thedevice providing convenient and ample means fora supply of hot water andoccupying the space of the stove-pipe, provision also being made forgathering the soot in the base of the apparatus, from whence it may beremoved.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a boiler, which may be ofcylindrical form, and through the same are passed flues B, which aresecured to the top and bottom sheets of the boiler, and open above andbelow the same. 0 represents a cap, which is secured to the top of theboiler, and it is provided with a collar, D, for attachment of a lengthof stove-pipe. To the bottom of the boiler there is secured a base, E,in the periphery of which is an opening, a, covered by a door, F, and inthe bottom plate a of said base is an opening, b,

' which is of the form of the pipe-collar of a stove, and adapted toreceive said collar when the boiler is located for service.

Water may be poured into the boiler through a pipe, d, or admitted froma hydrant or other place of supply by a pipe, 6. Water may be drawn froma faucet, f, or conveyed to any desired spot by a pipe, 9.

The operation is as follows The boiler properly supplied with water willbe placed on a stove, the pipe-collar thereof entering the opening b,whereby the boiler assumes the place of the length of pipe connected tothe stove.

The products of combustion from the stove pass into the base E and enterthe flues F, and thus warm or heat the water in the boiler, after whichthey enter the cap G, from whence they are directed to the collar D, andthen' through the connected length of stove-pipe to the chimney.

The soot that will gather in the fines B, cap 0, or in the length ofpipe above the cap, may be made to fall into the base E on the plate aby shaking or knocking the boiler and pipe, and the collected soot maybereadily removed through the opening a.

It will be seen that the device presented is simple, convenient, andserviceable in its nature. It assumes the place of the stove-pipe, andthe products of combustion usually lost in said pipe are utilized toheat the water in the boiler.

It is evident that the device may be attached to a range, furnace, orother heating medium.

I am aware that it is not new to construct water and air heaters wherebythey may be fitted to the flue-collars of stoves, and therefore disclaimsuch features.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

The water-boiler A, with fines B, cap 0,

' with collar D, and the water inlet and outlet,

in combination with the base E, having in its bottom plate a the openingb, and in its side the door F, substantially as and for the purpose setforth.

EDWARD STUMM.
